About the MMRF and the MMRF Team for Cures
The MMRF is a game-changing cancer research organization. The MMRF Team for Cures raises funds for cancer research. Nearly 90% of the funds raised by the MMRF and the Team for Cures athletes are budgeted for myeloma research and related programing. The MMRF was created to accelerate cancer research, particularly for multiple myeloma, and speed the development and approval of new treatments. Multiple myeloma, currently an incurable blood cancer, is the second most common blood cancer after non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Some of the treatments being developed by the MMRF are being explored to help treat 30 other cancers and life-threatening diseases. Based in the U.S., the MMRF is the world’s largest private funder of multiple myeloma research and has a 4-Star Charity Navigator rating (the highest possible).
